The Administrative Court allowed the taxpayer to deduct spousal advance payments for rent, utilities, and fees from their taxable income. The lower court determined these payments constituted a recurring advance payment under the Tax Act, despite the spouses living separately. The court upheld this classification based on the statutory definition of advance payments, ruling 2-1 that the payments were legally deductible.
